The Java Native Interface offers a complex and potentially error-prone approach to accessing native code from your Java programs. This month Jeff Friesen introduces JNA: an open source Java ...

Java enhancement proposal would preserve the status of the Java Native Interface as a standard way to interoperate with native code, while disallowing interoperation with native code by default.

Loom focuses on achieving massive parallelism without the need to write asynchronous code. Panama’s goal is to make it possible for Java native code to interface with external libraries.

Project Panama, which is about connective Java native code to interface with external libraries, is getting two new preview features.

The Java Standard Library provides a lot of functionality. However, it doesn't always provide the features needed to interface directly to the underlying system. Enter JNI, which lets you safely and ...

GraalVM Native Image is an ahead-of-time compiler that generates native Java executables. These executables start very fast and use less CPU and memory. This makes Java in the cloud cheaper ...

In Java, a shared library is files used by multiple applications. Each shared library consists of a symbolic name, a Java classpath, and a native path for loading Java Native Interface (JNI ...
